I would be remiss as a gender studies professor if I did not give you the fun link to watch the battle between the sexes in Sparta: Lysistrata by Aristophanes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtWcjLnGBlM..
What is particularly interesting is that this was recently repeated in the Liberia http://nvdatabase.swarthmore.edu/content/kenyan-women-sex-strike-against-governments-paralysis-2009. And http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/29/opinion/ghitis-sex-strikes/ If you are unable to WATCH this Utube video you may instead read about a 2003 example of a no sex strike.
Discuss this play and how the same methods Aristophanes described worked recently in Liberia. Leymah Gbowee won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2011 due to her leadership in this peace effort.
